Yet another protest song. I seem to be on a roll with these. Enjoy.

Lyrics

(4/4, moderate fingerpicking)
Capo 2

G Em G Em
Verse 1
G C
When it feels like there’s nothing but the anger
D G
When it feels like there’s nothing but the storm
G C
When it feels like you’re falling into darkness
D G
Come within, find the place where you are warm

Verse 2
When it feels like there’s nothing but the hatred
When it feels like you cannot walk so far
When it feels like your freedom is uncertain
That’s the time when we need to fight the war

CHORUS
C D G Em
We are one, we are together, we are with you
C D G
We will fight, we will shout our battle cries
C D Em Em7
We will fight for our freedom for forever
Am7 D G
We will carry on our banner to the skies

G Em G Em

Verse 3
When it feels like there’s nothing left to hope for
When it feels like there’s nowhere left to go
When it feels like we’ll never find our freedom
That’s the time when we rise and stand and show

CHORUS

G Em G Em

Verse 4
When it feels like there’s sun on the horizon
When it feels like the snow has gone away
When it feels like the world is newly risen
That’s the time when we stand and win the day

CHORUS

CHORUS 2
We are here, we are with you, we’re together
We are here to face the coming of the war
We are here, we have been here, we will be here
Am7 D Em
We will stand together evermore
Am7 D Em
We will stand together evermore
Am7 D G
We will stand together evermore

G Em G Em

I read through the lyric before listening and was thinking this had a proper angry energy but tempered with a well thought out perspective. Then the guitar and lovely melody started and it took me back a bit. A lovely protest, well thought out. A song of bringing together like minded folks. A little different than expected but much more lovely.
